Says they were responding to a domestic violence complaint. Would be nice to know the details of that complaint. The call, as well as the dude's behavior when they arrived, could very well be probable cause to enter.

Yes, of course, and taze the woman they are in there to rescue as the first order of business.

The first order of business was actually to get them to come outside peacefully. Cops don't want to go inside the house--they don't know who or what is in there and it is dangerous.

I think this is really a tough situation overall. They get a call about violence, they are told there's a kid inside. They arrive to check it out and the people are complete dicks. Won't even step outside to talk. Do they just leave and risk later getting a call that someone has been beaten or killed?

The Police have an obligation to thoroughly investigate domestic violence calls. They won't go away until they talk to everyone separately. They didn't really have PC to enter the house IMO but no court would call foul on that. The tasering? That guy is probably going to lose his job. Completely unnecessary.

To be fair the domestic violence call was valid....unfortunately the domestic violence happened AFTER the cops got there.....

A lot of states (if not all) require one of the parties to be removed from the property in a domestic abuse call. I think a lot of times they'll arrest one of them and then either let them go or press charges the next day.

And that's coming from someone who almost never sides with the cops.

He wont lose his job over tasering the guy.

You have to really **** up to lose your job if you are a cop. This cop may get a week suspension for PR just because the incident was recorded on camera.
